1. A method for determining aerodynamic characteristics of an aircraft comprising the steps:

  • (a) Detecting forces and mechanical flight parameters on aerofoils and a horizontal tail plane of the aircraft at various detection instants during at least one non-stationary flight manoeuvre of the aircraft; and

    (b) Evaluation of a system of equations, which comprises, for each detection instant, a pitch movement moment balance equation, which has the detected forces and mechanical flight parameters, to calculate the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft.
